Book Description:

This book offers a strikingly original interpretation of Leo Strauss, his 'political philosophy', and the connection of both to the American conservative movement. There is nothing essentially 'conservative' about what Strauss or his leading disciples have taught about politics or morals, instead they have been avid champions of American modernity.
